Dean Kiely has branded Charlton manager Alan Pardew "pedantic" as he attempts to plot his old club's demise in tonight's FA Cup replay.

The West Brom keeper was forced to wear a grey numberless shirt in the drawn tie at The Valley because Pards refused to lend the former Charlton favourite a replacement top. Kiely said: "He wouldn't change their keeper's shirt because we were both wearing green so I had to wear one without a number on, which was a bit pedantic.

"I have studied psychology for six-and-a-half years and if that's meant to fluster a 37-year-old who has played 700-odd games, then I find it a bit poor.

"Did I get flustered at having to wear a different colour jersey? Not really.
